How do I send the three-finger salute to winXP using kvm?

[Tomy]

I am running kvm from the cli not virt-manager. I like it -- it works great -- I even have bridged networking. Thanks bodhi ):P

When I ctrl-alt-delete from my winXP guest I get the ubuntu shut-down-the-computer message box. How do I get the traditional micro$oft ctrl-alt-delete so I can kill the app that's already died?

Thanks

Awesome :twisted:

hit ctrl-alt-2

This is a terminal that gives you access to the kvm hypervisor

type
help
help sendkey

sendkey ctrl-alt-deletethen hit ctl-alt-1 to return to your normal kvm interface.

I'm running vmware on Win, so I'm not sure if the command will be exactly the same, but it offers a direct key-combo alternative to Ctrl-Alt-Del: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace

All ctrl-alt-backspace will do under Ubuntu is reset X, so it would be advisable to NOT try that key combination, because it will be Ubuntu you are giving the three finger salute to!

Just FYI in many distros, Ubuntu included, that key combination has been disabled.

Thanks bodhi, that works.
